2Annette

3Curtis

Between Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) and the legendary Kurtis Blow, the name has remained relevant even past the '60s. Meaning "courteous, polite" and originating from a French background, the name Curtis could definitely still hold weight in the current years.

7Marc

8Carrie

Though the name Carrie might scare a few people due to the original 1976 Stephen King film by the same name, it's still a cute name to resurrect. Meaning "free man," the name has also found home in popular Sex & The City character played by Sarah Jessica Parker

14Lorraine

15Lonnie

Back in the '60s, the name Lonnie was a popular boy's name that served as a variation of Lawrence and Alonzo. Now, the name can be used for both a girl and a boy and means, "from Laurentum" and "noble, ready" respectively.

18Melody

19Wesley

The name Wesley may have gone up on the popularity scale because of the How to Get Away With Murder character. If you're interested in knowing what it means though, the English originating name means "western meadow" — which isn't as interesting as the character on the show.
